If you're using iCloud Syncing for Messages, once you delete a message, it's gone and there's no getting it back.


If you're not using iCloud Syncing and you have a backup that contains the message, you can restore your phone from that backup.

Note that restoring from a backup will overwrite everything currently on the phone.
